College Hunks Hauling Junk Expands Into Northeast Houston

Franchisee Jim Wright Transitions to New Career and Entrepreneurship to Build His Family's Nest Egg

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - August 18, 2016) - College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving -- which has been featured on "Blue Collar Millionaire," "Shark Tank," and other primetime shows -- is expanding its presence the Northeast Houston area. The company provides local moving, junk removal, donation pickups and more.

One of the unique aspects of the typical College Hunks franchisee is that there is no typical College Hunks franchisee. They come from all walks of life and occupational backgrounds to join the junk hauling franchise. Jim Wright, the newest owner of a College Hunks franchise located in Northeast Houston, is a prime example.

His background in mechanical engineering and design for major oil and gas companies is certainly a far cry from his new occupation, but what College Hunks has to offer encouraged him to make the transition. Corporate life had left him feeling unfulfilled and searching for a better way to plan for his family's future. He was also looking for a way to direct his own career and be his own boss. That search ultimately led him to College Hunks.

Professional service

"Hunks" stands for Honest, Uniformed, Nice, Knowledgeable Service, which is what the brand promises to customers. Wright says he loved College Hunks from the start because of the fun atmosphere, the sense of teamwork and the company's focus on goals -- which includes earning great customer feedback and finding ways to take the stress out of moving day for clients.

"You are not only moving customers' items, you are also taking a big burden off of them," Wright says. "Moving is one of the most stressful things you can do in your life, and we want to make that as stress-free as possible."

Professional movers

College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving is able to deliver outstanding service because it hires and retains outstanding people. Wright says that part of the business' success is thanks to a company culture that fully invests team members in all parts of operations, so team members understand how actions affect outcomes in the business.
